Class 6 2020 - 2021
Welcome to Class 6
Teacher: Mrs Grealis
Our Learning
Our WTL topic this half term is 'Justice.' The children will understand the meaning of justice and be aware that we are all called to work for justice. They will know about people who have been persecuted for speaking out about injustice and know about people who work for justice. We will discuss how we are all called to help one another and reflect on how people with disabilities can help us before reflecting on Advent and how we can prepare for it.
English
Our text this half term is Can We Save the Tiger? We will consider how our world has changed and how some animals have coped better with this than others. The children will reinforce last year's objectives while learning about modal verbs, adverbs of possibility and the use of parenthesis.
'High Rise Mystery' by Sharna Jackson will continue to be our main class text for this half term, with which we will develop our retrieval and inference skills. We will also explore extracts from other texts in our daily Whole Class Guided Reading Sessions.
We actively encourage all children to read as much as possible as home. Please help to support our in class learning by encouraging your child to read a range of genres reguarly at home. Some children will have a reading book that is provided by school and some children will be able to choose their own appropriate books. Everybody is encouraged to have a 'Reading for Pleasure' book.
Spelling tests will be held weekly (on Mondays). It is important that all children are practising their spelling patterns throughout the week to ensure that they go into their long term memory.
PE
Our P.E. day is usually a Friday (although this may change) and children should come to school in their kit. School hoodies and jogging bottoms can be purchased online with school uniform.
Homework
Homework will be set on Google Classroom. Work will be set on a Thursday and should be submitted by the following Monday.
Useful websites to support home learning:
We encourage all pupils to access these websites on a weekly (and sometimes daily) basis. If you have difficulty accessing the internet or these websites at home, please let me know and I will arrange a time for your child to access the school's computing suite.
Communication
I am always happy to discuss any worries, concerns or general queries you may have. Please feel free to send an email or make an appointment through the school office.
